The Influence of Orthotic Devices and Vastus Medialis Strength and Timing on Patellofemoral Loads During Running [PDF]

, 2000
Objective. To use a musculoskeletal model and simulation of running to examine: (1) the influence of two commonly prescribed treatments for patellofemoral pain (vastus medialis oblique strengthening and orthoses) and (2) the functional significance of ...

Biologic gracilis augmentation with iliotibial band enhances recovery and lowers complications in ACL reconstruction compared with hamstring plus lateral tenodesis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the iliotibial band autograft biologically augmented with gracilis (ITBAG) technique with a hamstring tendon autograft combined with extra‐articular lateral tenodesis using fascia lata (HT‐LET), in terms of (1) return‐to‐sport rates, (2) patient‐reported functional outcomes and (3) complication rates.

A comparison of the proximal and distal parts of the vastus medialis muscle [PDF]

, 1997
The vastus medialis muscle has two distinct parts with different fibre orientations and specific functions; the vastus medialis longus (VML) and the vastus medialis oblique/obliquus (VMO).

The Effect of Stump Level on Activity and Fatigability of Knee Extensor Muscles

Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2018
Introduction: Muscle fatigue is tiredness, in other words, loss of productive capacity of power in response to the activity. The development of fatigue during prolonged exercise may be evaluated by repeated assessments of maximal voluntary force.

Differences in the mass and quality of the quadriceps with age and sex and their relationships with knee extension strength

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2021
Background Although muscle quality evaluations are currently considered important for diagnosing sarcopenia, data from the general population are lacking.

Sport participation after isolated distal femoral osteotomy in young patients: High return‐to‐sport rates and predictive role of preoperative activity level

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The present study aimed to assess return to sport (RTS) rate, activity level and return to work (RTW) in young, physically active patients who underwent isolated distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) for lateral knee pain and valgus malalignment.

Reduced patella medialization in valgus and varus knees using a KA‐optimized femoral component in kinematically aligned TKA

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Patellofemoral complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are linked to femoral component design and trochlear alignment. This study compared the effects of a kinematically aligned (KA)‐optimized femoral component versus a standard design on patellofemoral kinematics, contact mechanics and quadriceps function, using native knee ...

The Impact of a Single Hip Manipulation on Quadriceps Activity and Performance: A Randomized Study

Biomedicines
Background/Objectives: Optimal activation of the quadriceps femoris, particularly the vastus medialis, while minimizing excessive activation of the vastus lateralis, is crucial for treating knee injuries like ACL ruptures and patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Current concepts in isolated and combined injuries of the medial collateral ligament complex—Part I: Anatomy, biomechanics, clinical and radiological examination of the medial collateral ligament of the knee

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Injuries involving the medial collateral ligament (MCL), or combined injuries to both the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and MCL, are common and present considerable diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Better understanding of MCL anatomy and biomechanics, especially in combined ACL–MCL injuries, has driven the need for updated clinical ...
